Blues beat Ducks 6-2 as Dylan Holloway scores two goals

With two weeks remaining in the regular season, the Blues haven't given up hope.

With a 6-2 win over the Ducks on Friday night, the Blues moved within three points of a playoff spot in the Western Conference with seven games remaining. The Blues (76 points in 75 games) have played one more game than the Sharks (79 points in 74 games).

There used to be a periodic feature in the Post-Dispatch sports section called "Sound Off," in which letters from readers to express their opinions on athletics topics were published.

It was the newspaper equivalent of social media before social media soared to prominence (albeit a more civil forum because personal attacks and foul or threatening language was not permitted) and we'll revive that old favorite of some folks, at least for a day.
